I would hate to have it completed cooking at 3:00 if dinner isn't until 5:00, so any help would be appreciated. Thank you for reporting this comment. dcarch7 d c f l a s h 7 @ y a h o o . Cross rib roast in deed is rather tough and is normally used for pot roast or stew.
It is the optimal way to deduct if the amount of closing costs paid on the buyer's behalf exceed the standard deduction. For example, in 2012, the standard deduction for a single individual is $5,950 and $11,900 for married couples filing jointly. Itemizing closing costs makes sense if the sum of mortgage interest, property taxes and points paid in 2012 exceeds these standard deductions.
Since closing costs can run anywhere from 1% to 5% of the loan value, they represent a significant cash outlay. However, not all of the closing costs are deductible as a current expense, and some are not deductible at all. Note: The tax treatment of the items below relate to a purchase of an investment property. The tax treatment of these items when paid in connection with the purchase of a principal residence is much different.
